Brightblack Morning Light ... WTF?

a slight wtf? at the fact that the lp has a different cover than the cd. i still like it though.

i don't think it's a shocker that this guy has some retarded views about the world

also, the oppression song is a reworking of their old song which can be found on the split with bonny prince billie a few years ago.

Um, he is sterotyping. Tons of people I know in Boston love going skiing, camping, mountain biking, surfing, etc. in Vermont and Maine and shit.

People in the northeast savor "perfect weather" more than a lot of motherfuckers, that much I can tell you.

It's just that I'd rather read about the band's interests in actual new age music, like how a relatively obscure but really quite influential character such as Iasos has informed their music and how they're now playing shows with him. That's a neat bridge between two generations. Then there's the interesting duality in their music. Although the group lives off the land in the middle of nowhere, the music, to these ears at least, doesn't totally reflect that. There is a certain urban vibe to it. But instead, I'm reading poorly formed thought on the environment. I'm into ecological issues, but I'd rather look to someone else for that stuff.

clowns make good music sometimes

I think he was just pointint out that people on the west coast (probably northern california and pacific nw) are generally more into outdoor activities and in tune with nature around them.

What does living "in tune with nature" mean?

playing all your songs in the same key

re: QN. I love this! Nabob, defender of A/Cs and grass lawns? Are you HIGH, sir???

Re: Mizzell. The Fader? You want to read a magazine owned and operated by a slick big-money marketing company, fine. I mean, I'm glad they get good stuff in there (cough, tokenism, cough), but...

I don't know what your point is. All I'm saying is that this dude spouts a lot of nonsense.

QN: Nabob's thought is pretty self-consistent, actually. Maybe you should re-read the piece, and pay attention to the stuff about Babylon.

What's the point? I'm high...

have you ever read Arthur magazine... on weed??

In my experience people that live out West are generally more into doing things outdoors. I went to a well-known outfitter here in Chicago and they didn't even sell tent stakes. It was mostly laptop bags and clothes. I think Nabob is OTM.

urban outfitters?

Nabob's not really talking about outdoors so much as he is talking about wilderness.

hay eman i would smoke a bowl before that show if i were you

it disturbs me that these people are actually flakes hanging out in the woods instead of just some hipster put on

fursaxa and zomes (lungfish guitarist solo) are opening. any good?

celtix/nuggets & lakers/pistons is looking more likely

Fursaxa is pointless. Maybe it's just my mood but I'm staying the fuck in and watching the NBA tonight.

need 2 to get some dankver nuggets

yah just lay back and get melo bro

lol @ outdated promo-sheet copy used on the club's website: "Her music has been compared to Nico's solo work and is often categorized among New Weird America artists." remember New Weird America guys???????

some dude called in to my radio show at 1 AM to request some Brightblack

luckily I was high

freak folk reprezent!

still haven't heard the new album yet. is it any good?

indistinguishable from the new beyonce

new weird america failed as a genre because it was too confusing to abbreviate

i played it at the wrong speed, like, all the way through, not having heard them before, and really enjoyed the shit out of it

when I realized my error, I also enjoyed it at 33

ha!

I really liked my friends' description of them as "a Stax band on cough syrup".

when i wrote an article about them i think i called their music new orleans funk w/ too much codeine

or something equally nonsensical that function, more than anything else, as a way to indicate that i knew about drugs

best album of 2008... not sure if in one hour my opinion will be the same

so, best album of the last hour then...?

new one's good but the previous one seems a bit more engaging to me, possibly due to presence of rad percussion stuff going on way down in the mix. haven't noticed that so much on the new one.

i like the new one better-- longer and fewer tracks.

got all the way through the (back) cover story in the new Fader without hating these people too much. it still was too much about "wow these two are weird and live in the desert" than about thier music or touring, but i still enjoyed it. the naybob quotes only get as weird/annoying as "there's an old indian site over there and these crazy space telescopes over there-- man this desert is awesome." the photos are pretty dope too

did you play it too slow or too fast??

i dont think J0hn would put a record made this year on at 16rpm, HOOS.

brightblack morning light 78s would sound great at 33.

i seriously would like a dub version of the new one. maybe by basic channel.

i just want one or two of the tracks in a 60 min version like an album by the necks

does anyone else hear like weird, barely audible instruments in some of the songs? like they recorded a bunch of extra tracks but only wound up using the absolute minimal necessary instrumentation.

xp: that'd be good, too.
